The manufacturing confidence indicator in Denmark dropped to 92.0 in September 2025, down from August's three-month high of 99.9, marking the first monthly decline since May. The latest reading was below the historical average of 100 and was the lowest since September 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a sharp deterioration in household sentiment toward production, which fell to 9 from 29 in August, indicating a less optimistic outlook. At the same time, employment expectations dropped sharply to -15 from 11, entering negative territory for the first time in four months—signaling weakened confidence in labor market conditions within the manufacturing sector.
